Abstract

The current research will assess online training specifically as it relates to learning effectiveness in a corporate environment. Currently, research concerning the effectiveness of online learning is abundant; however, none of this recent research is compiled in one place, nor does this research specifically interpret the information to determine the applicability of online training in a corporate environment. The thesis will analyze numerous secondary sources to compile relevant statistics related to the effectiveness of online training resources. Using this research, the thesis will culminate in recommendations for the implementation of an online training process, one useful for managers that focuses on effective learning, the need for personal interaction, and cost savings.
